Today the application of PEM (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane) fuel cell stack in the automotive field is a topic on central interest. Unfortunately, a PEM fuel cell stack cannot directly supply variable speed drives because of their non-linear behaviour in dynamic conditions. This paper is mostly concerned with the sizing of the supply system, PEM fuel cell-supercapacitor-battery pack, of an electric vehicle, based on the urban/suburban drive cycle NEDC (New European Driving Cycle). The average required power is used to design the fuel cell stack by imposing a preset operating point; the battery capacity is chosen in order to satisfy the constrain on the minimum value of the state of charge during the cycle; finally, the supercapacitor is determined by imposing the current sharing between battery and supercapacitor in transient condition.

Abstract
Today the application of PEM (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane) fuel cell stack in the automotive field is a topic on central interest. Unfortunately, a PEM fuel cell stack cannot directly supply variable speed drives because of their non-linear behaviour in dynamic conditions. This paper is mostly concerned with the sizing of the supply system, PEM fuel cell-supercapacitor-battery pack, of an electric vehicle, based on the urban/suburban drive cycle NEDC (New European Driving Cycle). The average required power is used to design the fuel cell stack by imposing a preset operating point; the battery capacity is chosen in order to satisfy the constrain on the minimum value of the state of charge during the cycle; finally, the supercapacitor is determined by imposing the current sharing between battery and supercapacitor in transient condition.Pubblicazioni consigliate
